I might have seen the same car at Halfords on Sunday too but I was too busy trying to avoid a human poo on the path to take in the details.

Looks really nice, I saw it was a car imported by Jurgen which is always a good sign, then I heard the exhaust note I miss so much and giggled as it popped a little flame out. It's the complete opposite of my old subtle black one but a great highlight to some otherwise dull trips out, give your friend my regards smile

(I was the chav in the orange Focus with the radio switched off to enjoy some 2JZ instead)
Yeah its a great motor, spoilers not to my taste but we all like different things (i prefer the smooth supra look), plus its something for me to wind him up about wink

Hes on here, im sure he'l bob on at somepoint.

Hello again smile

I followed you from the end of Elland Rd (you gave it some from the lights outside Jewsons) up past the White Rose and went past just after the roundabout near Sainsburys.

What's the spec on the car?

1998 J'spec, TT, VVTi, 6 speed smile
Hybrid turbo's, HKS silent hi power exhaust, Sard sports car,Blitz front mount intercooler, Apexi air filter (need to change), HKS ECU, Blitz boost controller.
We think its pushing about 500 BHP but the rolling road next week should tell me smile

It sounds all the important bits that hold back the standard engine have been nicely sorted smile

I had a black UK spec car with the basic mods, NuR Spec, decats, Blitz intercooler, Apexi SAFC and AVCR etc etc - lovely car but I got too precious of it and hardly ever used it. I ended up selling it via the classified on here and judging by some of the stuff I've read the new owner decided to tinker with some of the electronics and broke a few things before stripping it and rebuilding it as a monster. I miss it but it was just a driveway ornament for me in the end, it was a waste.

Are you going to a local rolling road?

Yes she is running well and I am happy with it, I have just had the wheels re painted so that is about all I am doing to it.
I never see any UK spec anymore, hard to get a hold of a good one ƒ¼ shame really. Quite some ¡§driveway ornament¡¨ to have.
Where did the car end up? Is he on Supra net?
I was going to ask on here if anyone knew a good place to take it?

Drove past that super wide/super low white mini with the engineering stickers on it yesterday on stonegate road.

Then on the way back up stonegate road, I spotted a loooovely Clio Williams.....A-mazing.

Saw a nice Audi RS4 Avant 4.2 V8 today (Tuesday) at Strikes garden centre on the A63 between Garforth and Colton. Not the usual sort of thing you see at these places.

Um, it lives locally as it drives past me most evenings as I walk home from east Garforth train station. Sounds great even at low speeds.
